the Russian ship “Akademik Chersky”, which can be used for the completion of the export pipeline “Nord stream-2”, arrived in Germany and anchored in the port of Mukran, reports “Interfax” with reference to these systems of tracking the movements of marine vessels.
In Germany, “Academician Chersky”, owned by “Gazprom” and specialized in laying pipes, arrived from the port of Baltiysk in the Kaliningrad region, which made refueling and water and took on Board some new crew members.
In Mukran is the logistics terminal construction of “Nord stream-2”, a route which passes under the Baltic sea.
Over the past few weeks, “Academician Chersky” several times changed the direction of travel and destinations. His movements were watched by journalists and experts.
Earlier it was reported that the ship can be used for the completion of the “Nord stream-2”. About this probability said the Minister of energy Alexander Novak. The need to own equipment for laying pipes arose after the U.S. late last year introduced sanctions against partners “Gazprom” under the project. After this, Swiss Allseas withdrew his vessel and equipment.
